El príncipe

The legacy of Nicolás Maquiavelo’s 16th-century treatise on the qualities of a good ruler continues to be relevant up to this very day. This book is required reading for anybody who wishes to better understand the complex nature of power.

Nicolás Maquiavelo was an Italian diplomat and military commander. He is the author of Palabras para pronunciar sobre la provisión del dinero, Retrato de las cosas de Francia, and El arte de la guerra, among other books.
